Punch clings to zoo keeper’s leg after they switch out dirty rag doll ‘mom’

Watch as Punch the monkey clings to a zoo keeper’s leg as they switch out his beloved cuddly orangutan toy. Punch, a six-month-old baby macaque from Japan, has broken millions of hearts after videos of him dragging around a stuffed animal given to him as a substitute mother went viral online. He had been rejected by his biological mother shortly after he was born in July last year, and multiple clips show Punch also being ostracised by his fellow monkeys at Ichikawa City Zoo. In a new clip, Punch can be seen jumping onto a zoo keeper’s leg as they took away his dirty toy and replaced it with a new one.
